Scrappy Capy Distro on Nostr: "Stonewall was a riot" doesn't really mean that Pride should be a planned riot ...

"Stonewall was a riot" doesn't really mean that Pride should be a planned riot instead of annex parade.

Consider that I means that Stonewall was a spontaneous act of community self defense and police opposition. One where people felt driven to act and to stand together.

You want pride to be a riot? Ask why when police attack people often just stand around and wait for the second round instead of banding together. Or why mobilizing spontaneously is so difficult.

Riots aren't simply willed into existence.

Oh, and awareness teams thst issue commands and dampen confrontation don't have a place at riots either.
